You Say Potato and I say Potato
Today we made French fries and ketchup with potatoes and tomatoes from the garden. We watched a video story book called, The Couch Potato. We learned how potatoes are grown and harvested. We guessed what ingredients are in ketchup. We guessed, tomatoes, salt, and sugar. We were right. Ask me what else we put in the ketchup. We are bringing home a special potato pet and our potato family drawing. It was a fine french fry kind of day in Kindergarten.

Creepy Carrots
Today Mrs. Kitson read us the book Creepy Carrots. It was a kind of scary, not so scary funny book. Ask me what happened in the book. We had a carrot as a special treat. They were from our kindergarten garden. They were juicy and crisp. We made our own creepy carrot characters. We practiced our letters: and talked about the new letter C. We learned it makes two sounds. Ask me what sounds C makes. We have a Halloween house in our classroom. It was fun to dress up in Halloween costumes. We are excited for Halloween.

Goodbye Garden
Today we practiced writing our numbers to 10. We played a math game called bump it. We have to match the number of objects with the numeral on a dice. Ask me why it is called Bump it. We graphed unifix cubes. We practiced our letters and we talked about our new letter L. We can now make words with the letters we have learned. At home I can practice these letters:: S< T<J<P<M<D>A and L. If we know the letters and sounds we can start to blend the sounds together and make words. In the afternoon we pulled onions and potatoes out of the garden. We also pulled out all of the tomato plants. It was a grateful garden day in KIndergarten.

Today we learned about bus safety. Elwood the Elk came to our school to talk to us about the danger zone and how to get off the back of the bus in case of an emergency. We went outside and practiced on a real bus. In the morning we practiced writing our letters: s,j,t,m and p. We have to remember to start our letters from the top. S is very tricky. We listened for the new letter D. We don't have any names that start with a D but some of our friends do have d's in their names. We listened to the book, One, Two, Three, Sassafrass. We practiced finding the numbers before and after different numbers on our number line. We made block towers up to 10 blocks high.We are practicing listening for beginning and ending sounds in the words we hear.
